How are the chlorofluorcarbons harming the ozone layer?
The Chlorofluorocarbons are harming the ozone layer. They decompose into halogens which destroy ozone.
What causes chlorofluorocarbons?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are synthetic compounds created as a byproduct of industrial processes, such as refrigeration, air conditioning, and aerosol propellants. They are made up of chlorine, fluorine, and carbon atoms, which make them particularly harmful to the ozone layer.
How are the structures of h2o and cf4 similar?
H2O is known as water. CF4 is known as tetrafluoromethane. CF4 is a molecule with a carbon atom at the center and four fluoride molecules attached to it. H2O has a single oxygen atoms in the center, with two hydrogen atoms attached to it. The structures are not very similar. CF4 is most similar to chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs). Further more, CF4 is a gas at room temperature, while H20 is a liquid at room temperature. Therefore, these are very different structures.
Why is the ozone so reactive?
Ozone is a molecule with a central oxygen atom that has three bonds, and a peripheral oxygen that only has one "full time" bond. This is a condition that neither will tolerate for very long. Very few molecules are immune to being oxidized, those being simple hydrocarbons, or molecules that have been partially or fully fluorinated (teflons(R) and PVDF).
